Tanith

There both dead! She laid back on the bed while the doctor put some gunk on her cuts and bruises, which she had obtained from the cleaver.

"Don't wipe that off" the doctor told her pointing to the gunk on her torso. Looking at the doctor, she didn't recognise her, Must be new.

"Okay" she stared at the ceiling as the doctor moved off to see some of the other injured people in the room. She saw Saracen the other side of the room with an air mask. Breathing heavily. It brought tears to her eyes. She hoped he didn't die as well. Fetcher was stood with Valkyrie they seemed fine. She couldn't see Dexter Vex anywhere she wondered briefly where he was.

"Hi Tanith" Fletcher said coming to her side and sitting down on the bed .

"Hey Fletch" she replied sitting up, she held her top to stop it being ruined by the gunk which had started to dry.

"You okay?" he asked tentatively

"I don't know" she sobbed openly crying now, she leaned on Fletchers shoulder while he patted her back.

"I know"

"What do you mean?"

"It's hard to get over it and you've lost two people"

"Was I really engaged to him?" she asked

"Yeah, It annoyed Ghastly"

"What did he do when he found out?"

"I wasn't there but apparently you and Billy-Ray showed up with Vex and said you wanted to join and Billy-Ray got up in Ghastly's face about it and he punched him... A lot" he chuckled

"Will they let me have the keys to Ghastly's place?"

"I don't know, why?"

"Because the last time I went there was over 2years ago and I miss it"

"I'll go and ask" He stood up to go.

"Wait" he turned to look at her "Where is his body?"

"In the morgue"

"Thanks" she stood up still keeping her top out of the gunk she went to leave but the doctor came back in.

"Back on the bed" she ordered

"I need to-"

"No you don't, you need to rest, there bad cuts you've got" Tanith huffed but got back on the bed, while the doctor when to see about Saracen. Tanith watched as her hands lit up and hovered over Saracens face. His eyes opened and he brought his hands up to take the mask away.

"Ummmmm, Hi Doc" Tanith smirked, quietly she stood and edged her way to the door. Out in the corridor she ran to the Morgue, inside she opened draws to find which one had her friend inside. On the middle shelf in the very middle was Ghastly. He was pale, his lips were blue. It made her want to warm him up. But the big cut in his throat told her he was dead.

"Oh Ghastly" she whispered placing her hand on his cold bold head. She rubbed her thumb over the ridges of his scars. Her vision blurred looking at him. "I'm sorry" moving backwards from his body she sat on the floor looking up at the still open draw. She put her head in her hands and started crying.

"Tanith?" her head shot up smacking into the draws behind her. She yelped and turned towards the voice, which was in the doorway. It was Valkyrie.

"Val?"

"You okay?"

"No" Valkyrie came over and sat on the floor next to her, and pulling her into a hug.

"He kept a picture of you on his desk y'know"

"I don't remember anything" sobbing harder

"Fetcher said you wanted the keys to his place"

"Yeah" she looked at her friend who had just produce a key from her pocket,

"Here" handing it to her. "He would want you to have it"

"Thank you"

The next day she went back to his shop. Opening the door she was hit by a musky smell underlined with Ghastly's smell. It made her smile a little. Closing the door behind her she walked over to table where he made all the cloths he sold. Random bits of paper were dotted around with his messy scrawl across them. Under the desk was a brown package. There was a note on the top. She picked it up and read the note.

To Tanith,

I'm not sure when I am actually sure when I was going to give you this but you were always complaining you were cold, so I kinda made you these I hope you like them.

Underneath that was another note

Steak on Thursday maybe?

Ghastly

Steak. He promised her steak, then she got a stupid remnant stuck in her. Opening the package she took out a pair of brown leather trousers, top and pair of boots, on a closer inspection she saw that they were made of the same material as Valkyrie's cloths. Putting on the outfit she noticed that they fit perfectly, not to tight and not to lose.

She missed him. She walked around his house for the rest of the way, and went to sleep on the comfortable sofa in his living room.

Thanks for reading :)
